Can this seat be installed without the latch system? My car is not equipped with one...

Yes, I use it in my 99 Honda and it secures with the seatbelt and a metal "key" you use on the seatbeat.

I just installed it without the latch system. Not as easy, but it works fine

We don't use the latch, we just use the sit belt. We sit our son, then buckled up using the sit belt.

This car seat is equipped with dual auto seat fastener options. You can either use the latch or seat belt. I use both but either can serve individually.

It has a latch system for the base unit. If need be you can use a seatbelt with the car seat by itself.

The base is nice because it allows you to snap the seat into the base. With the base secured to the car, you don't need to struggle with seat belts when taking the seat in and out of the car. Just snap and go! The only caveat is your car must be equipped with the LATCH system which is in nearly every car from 2002 or newer. Hope this helps.

Not on this model. There is the same seat that had latch but it's a different model name.

You are supposed to have a seatbelt lock (I'm not sure of the technical name but it kind of looks like an H with hooks on the insides) for vehicles without the latch system. When we bought the original car seat it had one but when we bought this to have an extra base, it did not come with it. Luckily a friend had one and they didn't need it lock.

We purchased three of these seats when our grandchildren were visiting last year; I believe we latched them on to the seat belts and they remained in the car that way. Not sure what you mean by Latch. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

It has the latch system and can also be used with a seat belt. I will say that for me in our cars it wasn't the easiest to get super tight.

I used an older model on an airplane. All car seats have to be forward facing and an airplane doesn't have a latch system. I always think installing a car seat without a latch system is more difficult. Also it is difficult to carry onto the airplane and move it between seats without bumping into anyone while still trying to wrangle the kiddo� I think this is true for all car seats though, not just this particular brand/model. Traveling with kids is just a lot more work!

Are you talking about a sports car with no latch system? A 70's classic car? Either way, no. You MUST have a latch and be able to tie over the seat back because this chair is a SOFT back. It collapses without your car's seat back to hold it in place...and also for the latch belt to go over and tether safely. That is key!! I think the pictures online give the impression that it sits upright without being installed like a "typical" seat and it does NOT. Hope that helps you!

I was able to do it and I'm no handy man. I watched a youtube video on how to change a latch. Here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRuOxDnP5gE

No. You will need to use the lock from your original latch. The OEM lock is very easy to remove then install in this new latch.

Yes, and britax has the best latches out there. So easy to install and uninstall. Have had to help friends with other brands and they are more difficult.

It does not need latch. It has slots for seat-belts. I have it both ways in my van. One car-seat is latched in, the other is seat-belt. But, I feel more confident with the latched one though.

SGL just means they included the LATCH system anchors to the Parkway SG model. Since the LATCH anchors are only used to hold the seat in place... regardless of whether or not you use the latch, you would still use the vehicle seat belt to restrain the child. One perceived downside to not using the latch, is that there is nothing holding the seat in place when the child is not in it - meaning there is a chance it could shift/move in the case of an accident. But we haven't found it to be problematic in our every day driving.
